Eastern Oregon Elk
- Thread starter JustAGuy
- Start date
I'm not a bow hunter but I know the unit well. I'll be there in rifle season.
Lots of elk , lots of public land and from what I hear lots of bow hunters. there's water everywhere and there really no place off the valley floors that won't have elk. quality isn't what it used to be but it still decent. the north part of the west side is steeper and less roads. the east side has some wilderness and is rougher for the most part. there's some huge burns over the last 30 years on Strawberry and some newer ones on Aldrich. pretty open still in most of those areas.
PM me if you want something more specific, but honestly just look at the map and find a spot you think you'd like and go there. it's somebody's honey hole.

Maybe a little research before you draw the tag? First time poster, elk are elk and no matter where you are hunting them, they all need food, water, and shelter.
